I Na Lii 2

1 HOOKOKOKE mai la hoi na la o Davida e make ai; a kauoha mai la oia ia Solomona i kana keiki, i mai la,

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying:

2 Ke hele nei au i ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau: e hooikaika oe, a e hookanaka hoi;

'I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;

3 A e malama oe i ke kauoha a Iehova kou Akua, e hele ma kona mau aoao, me ka malama i kona mau kapu, a me kana mau kauoha, a me kona mau kanawai, a me kana mau olelo me ia i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai ia Mose, i pomaikai oe ma na mea a pau au e hana aku ai, a i na wahi a pau e huli ae ai oe:

and keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;

4 I hooko iho ai o Iehova i kana olelo ana i olelo mai ai no'u, i ka i ana mai, Ina e malama kau mau keiki i ko lakou aoao, e hele imua o'u me ka oiaio, me ko lakou naau a pau, a me ko lakou uhane a pau, aole oe e nele i ke kanaka ole (wahi ana) e noho maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela.

that the LORD may establish His word which He spoke concerning me, saying: If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee, said He, a man on the throne of Israel.

5 A ua ike no hoi oe i ka mea a Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia i hana mai ai ia'u, a me ka mea ana i hana'ku ai i na luna elua o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, a ia Amasa ke keiki a Ietera; ua pepehi oia ia laua, a ua hookahe oia i ke koko o ke kaua i ka wa maluhia, ua kau hoi oia i ke koko o ke kaua ma kona kaei i kaeiia'i kona puhaka, a ma kona mau kamaa i hookomoia'i kona mau wawae.

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

6 Nolaila e hana oe mamuli o kou akamai, i ole ai e iho maluhia kona poohina i ka luakupapau. (Sheol h7585)

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)

7 Aka, e lokomaikai aku oe i na keiki a Barezilai no Gileada, o lakou kekahi o ka poe e ai ana ma kou papaaina; no ka mea, pela lakou i hele mai ai ia'u i ko'u hee ana imua o Abesaloma kou hoahanau.

But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they drew nigh unto me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.

8 Aia hoi me oe o Simei ke keiki a Gera ka Beniamina no Bahurima, ua hoino wale mai oia ia'u me ka olelo hoino loa i ka la i hele aku ai au i Mahanaima; aka, ua hele ae ia e halawai me au ma Ioredane, a hoohiki aku la au nona, ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Aole au e pepehi aku ia oe me ka pahikaua.

And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying: I will not put thee to death with the sword.

9 Ano hoi, mai hoapono oe ia ia, no ka mea, he kanaka naauao no oe, a ua ike oe i kau mea e pono ai ke hana aku ia ia; aka, e hooiho oe i kona poohina ilalo i ka luakupapau me ke koko. (Sheol h7585)

Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to the grave with blood.' (Sheol h7585)

10 Alaila hiamoe iho la o Davida me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.

And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

11 A o na la i alii ai o Davida maluna o ka Iseraela he kanaha mau makahiki ia; ma Heberona i alii ai oia i na makahiki ehiku, a ma Ierusalema i alii ai oia i na makahiki he kanakolukumamakolu.

And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

12 Alaila noho iho la o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a ua hooku paa loa ia kona aupuni.

And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established firmly.

13 Alaila hele mai la o Adoniia ke keiki a Hagita io Bateseba la ka makuwahine o Solomona. Ninau aku la oia, Ua hele mai nei anei oe me ke aloha? I mai la ia, Me ke aloha.

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said: 'Comest thou peaceably?' And he said: 'Peaceably.'

14 A olelo mai la hoi ia, He wahi manao ka'u e olelo aku ai ia oe. A i aku la kela, E olelo mai.

He said moreover: 'I have somewhat to say unto thee.' And she said: 'Say on.'

15 Olelo mai la ia, Ua ike no oe, ia'u no ke aupuni, a ua kau na maka o ka Iseraela a pau ia'u i alii ae au; aka, ua hoohuliia ke aupuni, a ua lilo ae nei i ko'u hoahanau: no ka mea, nona no ia, mai Iehova mai.

And he said: 'Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign; howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.

16 Ano la hoi, hookahi mea a'u e noi ai ia oe, mai hoole mai oe ia'u. I aku la oia ia ia, E olelo mai no.

And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not.' And she said unto him: 'Say on.'

17 I mai la hoi oia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e olelo oe ia Solomona ke alii, (no ka mea aole oia e hoole ia oe, ) e haawi mai oia ia Abisaga no Sunama ia'u i wahine.

And he said: 'Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king — for he will not say thee nay — that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.'

18 I aku la o Bateseba, He pono, e olelo aku no wau i ke alii, nou.

And Bath-sheba said: 'Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.'

19 Hele aku la o Bateseba i ke alii ia Solomona, e i aku ia ia no Adoniia. Ku ae la hoi ke alii iluna e halawai me ia, a kulou iho la ia ia, a noho iho la ma kona nohoalii, a ua hoonoho iho i ka noho no ka makuwahine o ke alii; a noho iho oia ma kona lima akau.

Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed down unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

20 Alaila i ae la ia, Hookahi mea iki ka'u e noi aku ai ia oe; mai hoole mai oe ia'u. A olelo ae la ke alii ia ia, E olelo mai no oe, e kuu makuwahine, no ka mea, aole au e hoole aku ia oe.

Then she said: 'I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not.' And the king said unto her: 'Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.'

21 I ae la kela, E haawiia'ku o Abisaga no Sunama ia Adoniia kou hoahanau i wahine.

And she said: 'Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.'

22 Olelo ae la ke alii Solomona, i ae la i kona makuwahine, No ke aha la oe i noi mai nei ia Abisaga no Sunama na Adoniia? E noi mai oe i ke aupuni kekahi nona, no ka mea, o ko'u kaikuaana no ia, nona hoi, a no Abiatara ke kahuna, a no Ioaba ke keiki a Zeruia.

And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother: 'And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.'

23 Alaila hoohiki Solomona ke alii ma o Iehova la, i aku la, Me ia e hana mai ai ke Akua ia'u, a e hui hou, ke olelo ku e ole o Adoniia i keia olelo i kona ola iho.

Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying: 'God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

24 Ano hoi, me ke ola ana o Iehova, ka mea nana i hooku paa mai ia'u, a i hoonoho ia'u ma ka nohoalii o Davida ko'u makuakane, ka mea nana i hana i hale no'u, e like me kana olelo hoopomaikai, e make no o Adoniia i keia la.

Now therefore as the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.'

25 Kena ae la o Solomona ke alii ma ka lima o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada; lele aku la oia ia ia a make ia.

And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.

26 A olelo mai la ke alii ia Abiatara ke kahuna, E hele aku oe i Anatota, i kau mau mahinaai ponoi; no ka mea, he pono ke make oe: aka, aole au e pepehi aku ia oe i keia mau la, no ka mea, ua hali oe i ka pahuberita o ka Haku Iehova imua o Davida ko'u makuakane, a ua hookaumahaia oe i na mea a pau i hookaumahaia'i ko'u makuakane.

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king: 'Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art deserving of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.'

27 Pela i kipaku aku ai o Solomona ia Abiatara mai kona kahuna ana no Iehova, i hooko i ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo ai no ka ohana a Eli ma Silo.

So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that the word of the LORD might be fulfilled, which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

28 Alaila hiki ae la ka olelo ia Ioaba; no ka mea, ua huli ae o Ioaba mamuli o Adoniia aole nae ia i huli mamuli o Abesaloma: a holo aku la o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, a lalau ae la i na pepeiaohao o ke kuahu.

And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

29 A ua haiia'ku i ke alii ia Solomona, Ua holo aku o Ioaba i ka halelewa o Iehova, aia hoi ia ma ke kuahu. Alaila kena ae la o Solomona ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, i ae la, E hele oe e lele aku ia ia.

And it was told king Solomon: 'Joab is fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and, behold, he is by the altar.' Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying: 'Go, fall upon him.'

30 A hele aku la o Benaia i ka halelewa o Iehova, i aku la ia ia, Ke i mai nei ke alii, E hele mai oe. I mai kela, Aole, aka, maanei au e make ai. A hoi hoike o Benaia i ke alii, i aku la, Pela i olelo mai ai o Ioaba, a pela i hoike mai ai oia ia'u.

And Benaiah came to the Tent of the LORD, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the king: Come forth.' And he said: 'Nay; but I will die here.' And Benaiah brought back word unto the king, saying: 'Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.'

31 A i mai la ke alii ia ia, E hana aku oe e like me kana i olelo mai ai, e lele aku ia ia a e kanu ia ia, i lawe aku oe i ke koko hala ole a Ioaba i hookahe ai, mai o'u aku nei, a mai ka ohana aku a ko'u makuakane.

And the king said unto him: 'Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.

32 A e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kona koko maluna o ke poo ona, o ka mea i lele aku i na kanaka elua ua oi aku ko laua pono me ko laua maikai mamua o kona, a pepehi aku la ia laua me ka pahikaua, me ka ike ole o Davida ko'u makuakane, ia Abenera ke keiki a Nera, ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iseraela, a me Amasa ke keiki a Ietera ka luna o ka poe koa o ka Iuda.

And the LORD will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

33 Nolaila e hoi ae ko laua koko maluna o ke poo o Ioaba, a maluna o kana mau keiki a mau aku; aka, maluna o Davida a me kana mau keiki, a me kana ohana, a me kona nohoalii, e kau mau loa'i ka pomaikai mai ka Haku mai.

So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.'

34 Hele aku la hoi o Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, lele aku la ia ia, a pepehi aku ia ia; a ua kanuia oia iloko o kona hale i ka waonahele.

Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

35 A hoonoho ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, iloko o kona wahi maluna o ka poe koa, a hookomo ae la ke alii ia Zadoka i ka hakahaka o Abiatara.

And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

36 Hoouna ae la ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, E kukulu oe i hale nou ma Ierusalema, a malaila e noho ai, mai hele aku oe mai ia wahi aku.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

37 No ka mea, eia, i kou la e puka aku ai maluna o ke kahawai Kederona, e ike oe he oiaio no e make io no oe, a maluna o kou poo iho kou koko.

For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.'

38 Olelo aku la hoi o Simei i ke alii, he pono ka olelo; a e like me ka olelo a kuu haku ke alii, pela no e hana aku ai kau kauwa. A noho iho la o Simei ma Ierusalema i na la he nui.

And Shimei said unto the king: 'The saying is good; as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do.' And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

39 Eia kekahi, i ka pau ana o na makahiki ekolu, holo malu aku la elua o na kauwa a Simei ia Akisa ke keiki a Maaka ke alii o Gata: a olelo mai la lakou ia Simei, i mai la, Aia kau mau kauwa ma Gata.

And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying: 'Behold, thy servants are in Gath.'

40 Ku ae la hoi o Simei, a kau aku la i ka noholio maluna o kona hoki a holo aku la i Gata, ia Akisa e imi ana i kana mau kauwa; a holo no Simei a hoihoi mai i kana mau kauwa mai Gata mai.

And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

41 Haiia'ku la ia Solomona, ua hele aku o Simei mai Ierusalema aku i Gata, a ua hoi mai.

And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come back.

42 Hoouna ae ke alii e kii ia Simei, a i ae la ia ia, Aole anei na'u i hoohiki ai oe ma o Iehova la, a i olelo aku au ia oe penei, I kou la e puka aku ai a hele mawaho i kahi e, e ike oe he oiaio, e make io no oe? a olelo mai la oe ia'u, He pono ka olelo a'u e lohe nei.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him: 'Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and forewarned thee, saying: Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me: The saying is good; I have heard it.

43 No ke aha la hoi i malama ole ai oe i kau mea i hoohiki ai no Iehova, a me ke kauoha a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe?

Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?'

44 Olelo hou ae la ke alii ia Simei, Ua ike no oe i ka hewa a pau i maopopo i kou naau, au i hana mai ai ia Davida ko'u makuakane: nolaila e hoihoi aku o Iehova i kou hewa maluna iho o kou poo;

The king said moreover to Shimei: 'Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father; therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.

45 A e pomaikai Solomona ke alii, a e hooku paa mau loa ia ka nohoalii o Davida ma ke alo o Iehova.

But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.'

46 Alaila kena ae la ke alii ia Benaia ke keiki a Iehoiada, a puka ae ia, a lele aku ia ia a make ia. A ua hoopaaia ke aupuni iloko o ka lima o Solomona.

So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
